Mallorca Water Temperature

Mallorca is the largest of Spain’s beautiful Balearic islands, and it is easy to reach thanks to numerous flights from all over the UK and mainland Europe to Palma Airport. Mallorca has something for everyone, from historic landmarks like Le Seu, Palma’s famous cathedral to stunning areas of natural beauty such as Cala de Deia.

Explore hidden coves and the magnificent wetlands of the Albufera National Park, or venture inland for superb views and the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountains. Pristine sandy beaches dot the coast and are excellent for snorkelling, diving or surfing, while popular resorts offer a wide range of activities.

The lowest surface temperatures occur in winter and are around 57F or 14C in January. Summer water temperatures reach a high of approximately 79F or 26C in August, which is a real treat for swimmers and divers who enjoy the ‘warm bath’ experience.

Best time to visit Mallorca

Mallorca is an excellent choice at any time of year, although the most popular time is undoubtedly the summer months from May to late September. Land temperatures in January tend to be around 59F or 15C which is mild and pleasant, though seasonal storms mean that you may want to pack a waterproof coat. The typical Mediterranean climate is defined by dry, hot summers and temperatures of up to 86F or 30C in August so be sure to pack light, cotton clothing and plenty of sunscreen.
